Chapter 51: Li Jin Returns to His Hometown
After a few glasses of wine, Miao De saw that the two of them were becoming more and more disagreeable, and got up to leave.
"Your Highness, the hour is not early, if there is nothing else..."
Only then did Wu Guifei realize that she was a little out of shape, she unnaturally brushed her hair, stretched her waist, her delicate body was exposed, and said lazily: "Do you remember to make it earlier." ”
Chen Shou grinned, hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, please be relieved, Chen Shou dares to be loyal and wise, and serve His Highness." ”
Miao De dragged him, walked out of the hall, glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he said in a low voice: "Brother Shou'er, don't play with fire." ”
Chen Shou disagreed, he lowered his voice, and said in Miao De's ear: "Daddy, if you give me more than ten years of stable development time, of course I will take every step of the way and win steadily." But now time waits for no one, and the sword is on the sidelines, which is also a helpless move. ”
Miao De faintly felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also the truth.
If you want to compete with Yao Baobao in a short time, you need to do whatever it takes.
You must know that Yao Baobao first served as a slave to Yue Xiang for twenty years for the position of eunuch of Beisi Bingbi.
Later, he simply defected, and in the palace coup, he took the risk and chose to ally with the civil officials of the outer court and sold the four eunuchs cleanly. Since then, the eunuch power, which has been pressing the civil officials, is a head shorter than the civil officials.
He has been in the palace since he was seven years old ... These thrilling decisions are needed to climb to where we are today. And the righteous son Chen Shou in front of him is already sixteen years old, and he is not a eunuch, so it is not easy to rise to the status of Yao Baobao.
"Alas, you discuss with your second father more when you encounter trouble, and the eldest father has an old bone, which is useless."
The two of them walked out of the main hall step by step, and the layers of palace doors in the palace were guarded by guards. Carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and columns, showing the majesty and power of the royal family.
Chen Shou crossed the layers of palace gates, his heart gradually calmed down, and he took a long breath of turbidity in his chest, and he silently thought in his heart: If you want to do something earth-shattering, you must have a light and light mentality.
Old Miao De was on the side, looking at Chen Shou's eyes and demeanor, and a smile slowly emerged.
When people get old, they like to be comfortable, it's been a long time since I've been so excited, and this kid hopes not to let us down like that person.

In Liangzhou City, Li Jin's body was transported back.
It's the height of summer, and after such a long road, the corpse faintly exudes a putrid smell.
But Li Wei insisted on bringing back the body, and although the imperial court banned the army and used ice and quilts to keep the temperature warm, when it arrived in Liangzhou, it still inevitably rotted.
When the corpse arrived in Liangzhou, the streets of the city were crowded with soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou.
Li Jin has been in charge of Xiliang for nearly ten years, and everyone in Xiliang admires and loves them, and now looking at the forbidden army transporting corpses, there is a flame in his eyes like hatred.
Wang Zhe, the general of the forbidden army who was transported, was furious by this gaze.
If his eyes were lethal, he and his soldiers would have been riddled with holes.
"General, the last general sees that the people here are not good, let's hurry up and return to Beijing." Behind him, a general who couldn't bear it also whispered.
This said exactly to Wang Zhe's heart, he grinned, frowned, and looked around, "It's too fucking evil." ”
In the crowded street, it was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was just expressing their emotions with their eyes, but no one made a sound.
How ruthless the suppression is, how scary it is when it erupts, this strange quietness makes the forbidden army up and down, like sitting on pins and needles.
On the territory of Daqi, Xiliang is only a very small part, and this place was not the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty during the Sui Dynasty.
During the Xia and Shang periods, Yongzhou and Liangzhou were located in the sphere of influence of the dog Rong, and the Hexi Corridor was the station of Xirong, and the leader of Xirong exercised judicial power, because it was a nomadic tribe, and the place of breeding was not fixed.
In the Zhou Dynasty, this place was occupied by Beiqiang, Maqiang, and Xirong, and the nomadic economy here slowly transitioned to an agricultural economy, but nomadic life still occupied a dominant position.
Since then, the folk customs here have been very different from those of the Central Plains, and this is the true land of warriors. The Beiqiang, Maqiang, and Xirong are some of the oldest powerful bloodthirsty tribes in China, dominating the northwest for centuries.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty caused great chaos in the later period of the Sui Dynasty, and the rise of the Eastern Turks reached the level of "controlling millions of strings, Rong Di is blazing strong, and the ancient is unprecedented". Sima Li Liang of Yingyang Mansion of Wuwei County raised troops against the Sui, occupied Hexi, built the Great Liang State, set the capital Guzang, built Yuan Anle, and attached to the Eastern Turks.
Since then, Liangzhou has been repeated several times, and has been occupied by Tang, Tubo, and Zhang Yichao.
Therefore, the people of Liangzhou have hardly been at peace for more than a hundred years, and there is war here every day. Counting on their loyalty and sense of belonging to Daqi is just a fool's dream.
Although Liangzhou has a Liangzhou horse that is rampant all over the world, it is too small compared with the entire Central Plains. Some powerful people in Liangzhou have always had this idea, that is, in the Liangzhou area, there is not enough rebellion, and it is more than enough to divide the territory.
Now they are all waiting to see what Li Wei will choose.
After all, the Great Qi is not a unified dynasty, and south of the Yangtze River, there is also the Southern Tang Dynasty that occupies half of the country.
Once there is chaos in the northwest, Daqi may not dare to suppress it with the strength of the country, and at that time the secession is a fait accompli.
The civil official group of the imperial court wants to completely eliminate this hidden danger, and now because of their series of strange operations, this hidden danger has been pushed to the brink of ignition.
The forbidden army advanced slowly, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the soldiers and civilians in the city.
The vicious light in the eyes of those people was a murderous aura that none of the veterans of the forbidden army had.
There is no need to doubt that once there is a war, these people can go into battle in armor, and they are elite soldiers when they go into battle.
At this time, the gate of the General's Mansion slowly opened, and a black horse came out of the General's Mansion.
The man on horseback, described as withered and haggard, with a sloppy look, was none other than Li Wei, who had experienced the most serious blow.
He dragged the reins of his horse and walked slowly in Liangzhou City, and there was not a single guard around.
The guards followed him from a distance, and at such a distance, if someone wanted to kill him, the soldiers would not have time to react.
Li Wei didn't seem to be worried at all, and as his horse's hooves came, the crowds on both sides of the road took a step back with great tacit understanding and discipline.
"He is sixty years old, and his eyes are full of sorrow and he only attacks himself. Today, the horses come to you, and life and death are from now on to the west and the east. ”
The voice was bitter and tragic, like laughter and crying, resounding in the street.
Those who heard it were sad, those who saw it shed tears, and Liangzhou City gradually cried.
As Li Wei's horse approached the corpse cart at the vanguard of the forbidden army, Wang Zhe finally saw the rumored Confucian general Li Wei.
Between the lines, the entire Liangzhou City is cooperating with him, Liangzhou City seems to be like a thing in his hand, controlling the entire city as he wants, Liangzhou City, is his Li Wei's.
Wang Zhe secretly thought in his heart that there were no Xiliang people in the eyes of His Majesty, and there was no emperor in the eyes of Xiliang people.
